Check out our searchable table for the top 100 cable originals at the bottom of the post.

NETWORK UPDATE: FOX’s MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL coverage and the rerun of BATTLEBOTS each received an extra 0.1 in final numbers.

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS: Once again, we’re at the mercy of the way some of the cable networks list their theatrical movie premieres, which is why JOHN WICK and SKYFALL are included in the Top 10 below. (It’s worth noting, though, that JOHN WICK did exceptionally well for HBO, even better than GONE GIRL’s premiere did last week, despite the fact that the latter film was a much bigger hit in theaters.) The real cable original leader, for the 2d week in a row, was the Lifetime movie, this time PERFECT HIGH at 0.58, down just 0.5 from last week’s much-hyped Will Ferrell/Kristin Wiig vehicle. On Starz, POWER gained 0.05 to 0.55. Fox Sports 1’s coverage of the WOMENS WORLD CUP quarter-finals (non-US games) was at 0.52/0.39, and various pieces of its UFC FIGHT NIGHT telecast were at 0.47/0.45. HOUSE HUNTERS RENOVATION (HGTV) was up a big 0.16 to 0.50. On Adult Swim, KILL LA KILL fell 0.09 to 0.46, and SWORD ART ONLINE dropped two-tenths to 0.34, while in titles not on the chart (because they’re officially reruns, although apparently at least some of them are airing for the first time in their current form), DRAGON BALL Z was up 0.07 to 0.58, MICHIKO AND HATCHINI fell 0.16 to 0.39, and NARUTO dropped 0.19 to 0.32. THUNDERMANS (Nick) was at 0.45. HBO customarily slices up its boxing coverage into segments, and they rated in a range of 0.42-0.26. COPS (Spike) rose 0.06 to 0.43. Below the Top 100, BBCAmerica’s JONATHAN STRANGE AND MR. NORELL, airing for the first time without an ORPHAN BLACK lead-in, lost more than half its 18-49 audience, falling 0.04 to 0.03, with 207K total viewers. The nightly BIG BROTHER AFTER DARK on POP was at 0.07, with 123K total viewers.
